  • Frozen shoulder syndrome (adhesive capsulitis - AC)
Frozen shoulder syndrome or adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a painful condition for which Simeon Asher devised a treatment method without the use of drugs or surgery. 

Frozen shoulder syndrome affects between 3% and 5% of people over 40. It tends to occur on the non-dominant side, it’s slightly more common in women and much more common in diabetics. It is extremely debilitating. Simeon has been pioneering a breakthrough treatment method for frozen shoulder named NAT since 1997, for which he has run clinical trials and has published extensively. 
Frozen shoulder syndrome often causes significant agony – it is characterized by a global loss of range of motion, especially reaching behind the back or into the back pocket, to the point that doing up a bra becomes impossible. It lasts an average of 30 months without treatment and consists of three phases – freezing, frozen and thawing. The first 10 months are usually a period of extreme shoulder pain and stiffness, especially at night.
With a remarkable track record of thousands of cases treated with his method, Simeon now teaches and lectures on this issue (and other complex shoulder conditions like the rotator cuff) worldwide. Simeon’s NAT technique is a sequenced algorithm of hands-on manipulation. NAT is 95% effective for 86% of cases. 
Simeon has partnered with physical therapist Diana Osovski, a specialist in shoulder rehabilitation, to offer the very best of cutting edge shoulder care.
